Wordle generates “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. You can print the word clouds out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends. The possibilities are endless. There is a presentation from the Ideas To Inspire website; Thirty-Eight Interesting Ways To Use Wordle, that gives some more great examples. The following is a word cloud of the Gettysburg Address.
